Oh so my eyes werent deceiving me it was actually landed forward! I guess the most close one that jump could be called is a half axel or also called a bell jump, i was debating whether it's a one foot axel or that since yuzu immediately turn his landing foot once its on the ground so its hard to catch. Technically, its a half axel, based on take off and landing, but since thats mostly used only in practice in order to master an axel, no one really make that move with a Gigantic Leap style. At least i dont think anyone ever made it into a leap move? I could be wrong Lets make it into a hanyu leap bc ive been dying of a move to be called by his name lol half axel leap is too long of a name anyway

I just realized i got my wish of yuzuru skating to violin piece again this is a dream come true Also i have to say, i really like it when a succesful artist/performer looks back on their history and remember what made them fall in love with the thing they're doing in the first place. I think its a necessary step to further understand yourself and continue to still enjoy that path, especially when you've already reached everything under the stars.

Yuzu's Origin step sequence outsold im shook right now Edit: i guess the only thing disappointing me is him ditching 3f and 3lz *cries* i hope he'll pick them up again when (and only when) he's 100% healthy

korea refused and the finland fed only got asked a week ago?! Talk about short notice! o_O Can you imagine if no one actually wanted to host the cancelled coc? damn... this almost turned into a disaster orz not surprised that two olympic champions are going there

There better be! It'll be interesting!

We yuzu's 3F lover are gonna be so deprived But wouldnt 3Lz be more dangerous for him if he's still managing his injury at the start of next season? Is the chance of him learning lo3F really that low What if he does 3A3Lo tho

Oh yeah at least now he gets consequences if he does that, thanks for reminding me

Aah i see. this is why the vote shouldnt be a package thing like that, makes it even more confusing smh isu Holy crap nathan can still go with a 'only 4 type of jumps' layout even with this rule. i did not see this coming

Any restriction on repeating quads has never been in usfa men skaters' favor (2 of them at least). I dont know why many seems to think so. Repeating 4Lz and/or 4F in combo and solo will always be a huge advantage. Nathan isnt really an edge jumper so.... This ruling doesnt really favor him. He'll probably just do 4 quads. Because falling while trying 4Lo again is a huge risk now, especially when he come into this season as a current world champion with a certain momentum and he is still trying to win the judges affection, or maybe you could say he already won them but he's still in the stage where he needs to maintain it. Or maybe he has the courage on not playing it safe like a certain someone, but i dont know, i kinda doubt that somehow.

There was definitely something going on there. My preference is actually Bonus for six type jumpers, w no change in zayak like last season > 1 quad repetition > no quad repetition >>>> no change at all allowing skaters to potentially, hypothetically, jump only 4 type of them in the free with no consequences

It is only effective if the repetition thing didn't pass. Hence why i thought it would be a good idea to combat it. But too bad that clearly the isu people prefer the no quad repetition rule. Its a good thing that they at least allow 1 quad repetition now. Maybe they reach a compromise? behind the scene

It is withdrawn by japan.

Sorry i just saw this but i wasnt talking about the backload proposal? In fact i hate that proposal as well. 1 jump bonus only in secondhalf sp is a monstrosity. I was talking about the 'reward skaters who jump ALL SIX types of them to promote variety' proposal. This proposal is under the backloading proposal in the original pdf document. This proposal is more straightforward in 'variety' and a way to combat the no repeat quad proposal, they even use the same 'variety' thing as a reason. Too bad it is withdrawn. Also, in the original document, the killing backloading thing is used to justify 'balance', not 'variety', i dont know what the heck happened that they bring up variety in the conference regarding killing backloading bc it makes no freaking sense at all. Maybe the person who propose it and the person who go to the conference as a representative has a mismatch view lol

Im glad the zayak rule passed pheeww, AND this is better than not allowing a quad repetition at all, limiting to only one. I guess they reached a compromise behind the scene (maybe japan made this happen considering what they propose earlier lol but im still gonna miss that 'need to jump all six types' proposal bc it was better) But this also means that 3A will be more important than ever! Which is a good thing for me bc i love axel, but a nightmare for anybody who dont have stabilized 3A. What astonished me is they really dont care that we all know they negotiated behind the conference? What with passing that whole tech package stuff?

You just blow my mind It really feels like what gets passed and what gets voted yes are already fixed, and we're the only one who dont know
